I hadn't particularly thought of it in that manner. My line of thought was that since Torque/PBS can/is sending out a termination email anyway, why not just add one or two extra lines of text to that message, rather than sending a separate email altogether.
Thank you Brian, I'll bounce this around my team and see what their feeling is on the subject.

If you want to do it on a job-by-job basis, wouldn't you want to do that as part of either an epilogue script, or in the job script itself?
---------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=3
module load mpi/openmpi
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR
mpirun ./my_app
echo 'Subject: Job $PBS_JOBID
My job is done! I ran it from $PBS_O_WORKDIR '|sendmail myemail at domain.com
